There’s only one thing more disgusting than watching students march and chant like savages to protest against the non-crimes of an outstanding corporation like Coca-Cola: watching UC officials take it lying down.
That’s what I saw Wednesday morning behind Ackerman Union as the Coca-Cola delivery truck arrived to find students with red shirts and loud mouths blocking its entry. Several UC officials, along with security guards, sat idly by and did nothing more than politely ask the protestors to leave, which was obviously met with a “no”. Eventually the truck driver put it in reverse and drove off, hopefully as disappointed as I was.
But the ones who deserved the most condemnation were the UC officials that let it happen. If students don’t like UC policy, they can petition and pursue any non-coercive means they like to change it, just like the rest of us. But they can’t forcibly prevent others from going about their business. The UC officials should have immediately called the police and had them remove the protestors for being a public disturbance. “It’s our university,” the protestors cried. Yes, but it’s mine too, so you can’t just force your will upon UC policy makers. UC officials need to stand up for themselves and not let these petty thugs infringe upon the rights of the rest of the student body.

i really hate these people. they're so wrong, and so stupid about it. i would love to be the police chief who gets to arrest them, or the chancellor and come down to each and every instance of such force-intiating protesting and tell the police to remove them.
